It’s probably no surprise to anyone at this point that here at Green Queen, we’re big fans of Hong Kong’s eco-hero and young climate activist Lance Lau. Being a solo striker of the #FridaysForFuture movement every week, Lance has since made headlines in Hong Kong for his dedication to help save our planet – and more importantly, he has inspired even more individuals to take action to make a positive impact. As we approach International Women’s Day on March 8th this year, we asked Lance to choose the five women in sustainability whose work motivates him to keep fighting for the planet every day and who inspire him to continue doing the amazing work that he does. Below, Lance Lau’s #IWD2020 female role models.
PS: We honestly had no idea when we approached Lance for this feature that he would choose us. We are so very honoured and humbled to be on this list!
